AKC Agility
September 8, 2007
Suede went to an AKC agility trial today, and ran in Standard, jumpers and Fast (all Novice). She went 3 for
3, Q'd in all of her runs. She placed 4th in that class, which was real cool. In her fast run (a class that is kind of a combo
of gamblers and snookers), she did awesome, got the distance challenge, and racked up enough points to Q. In jumpers, she
was the only to Q in her jump height, so therefore got a 1st, and her NAJ title!!! She has only run fast and standard
once, so she needs two more legs for those titles.
